Best Answer

Under some circumstances, yes. If there is an immediate threat to public safety, if there is an investigation of a crime, or if a crime has been committed with the firearm, or if the person is one that is forbidden by law to possess a gun- then yes, a law enforcement officer may seize the firearm. As in almost every legal question, the answer is "That all depends."
